The late Rabbi Soloveitchik was a teacher and master of the most centrist modern orthodox rabbis and others during his 40 years at Yeshiva University in New York. His classic examines the Jewish covenant of faith and the covenant of fate and destiny that links all Jews religious, irreligious, and non-religious. His purpose was to rally American Jews to the defense of the state of Israel. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From The Critics

In Fate And Destiny: From The Holocaust To The State Of Israel, Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik presents an extended, informative, insightful, inspiring theological meditation on the Holocaust and the rise of the State of Israel; a profound examination of the Jewish "covenant of faith"; and the "covenant of fate and destiny" which links all Jews, whether they be religious, irreligious, or non-religious. This covenant of faith manifests itself in shared circumstances, shared responsibility, and shared activity. Fate is thrust upon the Jews, while destiny is freely chose by the individual Jew and the Jewish people by adopting a Torah lifestyle thereby possessing both significance and purpose. Fate And Destiny is an impressive presentation and a highly recommended addition to Judaic Studies reading lists and library collections.
